For the next few days, Rick was dealing with all sorts of issues in the chaos of the upper echelons.

After all, with a speaker and a branch president of a large church dead in one night, Rick was destined to face cross-examination by the local aristocracy and even the entire council, and the pressure from the church also made him anxious.

Of course, he also has to meet the attacks of political opponents, and such a major political event will naturally be seized by opponents. But these are all borne by His Excellency the Duke of Bath Luxembourg, after all, it is too high-level to fight, and Rick is not able to intervene at this time.

And while Rick was trying to control the deterioration of the situation, far east from Banki, on the other side of the kingdom. In a luxurious villa in the Duchy of Koch, a richly dressed aristocratic young man was throwing a violent tantrum there.

Everything in the room that could be smashed had been smashed to pieces by him, and the chaotic room was cluttered with debris as if it had just been ransacked.

The maids and deacons who were in charge of cleaning up outside the door did not even dare to gasp for breath at this time, but stood outside the door in fear, neither daring to leave nor enter.

But in the chaotic room, there was only one place that remained tidy, and not even a piece of it could be found.

It was an elegantly decorated and old desk, and behind the desk sat an old man, who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, but in fact he was probably older because of his good maintenance.

"All right, my child. Don't lose your temper anymore, a small action, a failure is a failure. Next time, it's better to plan better. The old man spoke.

Hearing this, the aristocratic young man who was furious stopped his movements and said respectfully to the old man who was sitting, "But...... Father, although I want to think the same way, I am still unwilling to fail like this! If this continues, the gap between our Koch family and the Luxembourg family will become wider and wider!"

"What if you are unwilling, I don't know this. But now the situation is pressing, and we have to compromise. Take a step back, there is still a long time ahead, and we have time to do it all over again. Old Koch said helplessly.

"You ...... There's no next time. A sudden male voice sounded in the ears of the two of them, and then followed. It is an old man who looks to be in his sixties and has a slight figure. A face with the characteristics of the Ustan nation has a slight smile on it.

Duke Koch looked at the intruder, who was older than himself, and instantly changed his face and roared: "Bass, what are you doing here! This is the private domain of our Koch family, even if you are the Duke of Luxembourg. Trespassing here is not something that can be interacted with casually. Wait for the judgment of the noble court and the royal family!"

The Duke of Bath did not waver. In a playful tone, he said to old Koch: "I don't know if I will receive the penalty, but you will receive it soon, I am very sure of that." ”

"How is that possible!" shouted little Koch in disbelief. On the contrary, the old Koch on the side seemed to have expected it. Nothing happened.

"Worthy of being a shrewd man who has been a Duke for so many years, did you think of it so quickly?" said the Duke of Bath with a smile.

"Intent on subverting the kingdom's power, even if it's just a small town, it's an important supply base for the Western Frontier Legion. Stability there has always been the Kingdom's primary concern. You have gone too far this time, and even His Majesty the King and the entire central leadership will not give you another chance this time. Buzz said lightly.

Little Koch's face turned even paler when he heard this, but he still tried to resist: "No, my brother is still in charge of the central Ministry of Finance, even if something happens or the attitude of the capital changes, he will notify us as soon as possible." The more he talked, the more he felt reasonable, and little Koch's face turned red.

But the Duke of Luxembourg's next words directly gave little Koch a fatal blow. He looked at little Koch and said pityingly, "Ah...... I forgot that when people get old, they have a bad memory. I have not yet told you that Koch in the capital has been arrested and interrogated on the same charges as I told you. ”

Old Koch sat down in his chair when he heard this, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant, and it looked pitiful to look like he had run out of oil and dried up.

He whispered, "It's over! The Koch family is about to finish in my hands." You win, Bass. ”

"yes, I won. You've taught me a lot over the years, and you're one of the few good opponents. Bas said with some wistfulness.

"Father, please cheer up, we haven't lost yet, as long as we escape, there will be followers of the family who will follow us......" Little Koch also tried to make a last ditch attempt, but was quickly interrupted by Old Koch.

"Huh...... Don't say more, such ugliness will make others look down on you, my child. Even at the very end, you can't be ashamed of the name of nobility, that's what I've always taught you, remember?" said old Koch with a kind face, serene and wise.

"Even if we escape, the first thing the people who usually treat us with respect, even wag their tails and beg for mercy, are to seize us and send us to the kingdom to ask for merit and reward. ”

"I can even conclude that after your brother was captured, a large number of people have already begun to think about a way out, or have even taken refuge in their new masters. Koch analyzed slowly, not at all like an old man who had been cornered and was about to leave this world.

"And it's impossible for the two of us to escape from Bass. He looked at Buzz and said with a smile. It's just that there is so much helplessness and bitterness in this complicated smile, and no one knows how much it does.

Hearing this, Bas smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, it is a great honor. Then it's time to send you on your way. Rest assured, it will soon be over and all the pain will be over. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a smooth and gorgeous magic burst out from his body, and quickly filled the chaotic room. At this moment, the magic that has been tempered is extremely beautiful and intoxicating.

One of the six dukes of the kingdom, the entire Koch family, which can influence the kingdom's decision-making in various ways, was erased from this world in a dazzling magic.

Years later, there are few people who can remember this illustrious family. (To be continued......)
